River Ridge Retreat Pier in Guntersville, AL

September 11, 2022 I am trying to do more walking, but at the same time, I’m still taking it easy by making sure I walk on flat surfaces. Bruce is doing his best to help. He asked if I wanted to go to the pier. I thought about it, and told Bruce, I was willing […]

Rig Weight

August 23, 2022 One of my blog friends asked about the weight of the rig. I thought instead of replying in a comment, I would do a post. Dave and Tina Rayburn, Weighing Specialist proved a report after weighing the rig. On the tow vehicle, Cliff the Big Red Truck, here is the axel measurement […]

Getting the Total Rig Weighed

August 21, 2022 On Friday, we had the truck weighed. On Saturday, on our way out, we had the total rig (truck and RV) weighed. First, we had to dump everything in our tanks. Since our campsite didn’t have a sewer hookup, we had to use the dump station. Once Bruce dumped the tanks, he […]

Getting the Truck Weighed

August 19, 2022 Bruce signed up to get the RV weighed while we are at the FROG Rally. The team that does the weighing wanted to weight the truck first. They wanted a full tank of diesel and everyone who would normally be in the truck for the weighing. We will pull the RV up […]

Picking Up the New Tire

May 5, 2022 On Monday (May 2), Bruce called to check on the tire. They had it ready and they asked us to pick it up between 2:30 and 3:00 pm. We decided to have a late lunch while the shop put on the new tire. We dropped the truck off and walked to Simmons’ […]

What?! Another Flat?!

April 26, 2022 On Friday, April 22, we planned to go to Bucks Pocket State Park. We decided to take Nox with us for the hike. Nox was super excited about going. She wanted to get to the truck so she could go with us. We were all set, we had Nox’s walking harnesses and […]

Not All Fun Times

April 7, 2022 We aren’t always doing fun things. Yesterday, Bruce took the truck to get the oil changed, fuel filter changed, oil filter changed, etc. While Bruce was handling the truck stuff, I finished entering the numbers for our taxes. To get the final numbers, I had to call to find out how to […]

Spare Tire Replaced… the Rest of the Story

March 29, 2022 While Bruce was changing the flat tire, he didn’t have the jack in the right place at first. The truck started lifting, then there was an unpleasant sound and the truck dropped. Bruce said some four letter words that I won’t repeat. This is when he went back and looked at the […]

Busted Flat in Georgia Along I-95

March 28, 2022 After dinner at my father-in-law’s house, we started driving back to the RV. It is a 45 minute drive from his house to our campsite. Along the way, there was a noise on the passenger side by the front tire. We ran over something in the road and it scrapped over the […]
